"I obviously own other bags, I’ve been away from home for over two months now and it’s the only bag I took to Love Island with me.

“The one time I did go home my priority was seeing my family, when I have a chance to collect more things from home I will but it’s a bag and it’s a nice one I got from my parents for Christmas… get over it guys!”

Other fans defended Ellie over her sartorial choice, with one person saying: “To be honest I didn't even notice you’d repeated the bag!...And it’s comments like that, that make us never want to repeat an outfit or item again because we’d get slated for it online. You enjoy your bag girl.”

Another fan commented: “Listen y'all it's a bag get over it.”

Ellie and her Love Island boyfriend Charlie Brake have been hit with split rumours since leaving the Spanish villa.

The couple appeared to put reports of rows and a split aside when they were pictured kissing and cuddling at a hotel recently.
